Indescions, Indescions...

The American political system has to be one of the most ridiculous, absurd manifestation of "democracy" out there.

Ok, so maybe it's not that bad. But Lord, it isn't good.

Any system where a candidate without the popular vote can still become president needs to be seriously reconsidered. Just what I think.

Having said that, it is election time in America once again. But I'm having trouble throwing my support behind one particular candidate.

I used to kind of like John McCain. He was a conservative with a conscience. I may not have agreed with all of his postitions, but here was a guy that you could really respect his politics. However, this campaign seems to have taken alot out of him. He's turned down right nasty, and his appeal is taking a pitfall.

Obama. Is there anything this guy can't do? He's got a lot of really great ideas, backed by what I am sure are the best of intentions. It is refreshing to have a candidate with solid positions on every issue, with detailed, plausible long-term plans to back them up. So what's the problem?

I just don't trust him.

Yes, I know. Blasphemy. Don't get me wrong, if I was waiting in those hideously long lines, and found myself looking down at those rediculous levers behind the red curtains, I'd be pulling for Obama (pun intended). But in my heart of hearts, I just don't trust this guy.

Yeah, he has great plans, but at the same time, he seems to be all talk. How can we be so sure that really would deliver on the change we need as fast as he says he will? I can't shake the feeling he's all ego and no action.

McCain is right, Obama is unexperienced and untested. It's high time we all admitted that. And it's high time that the American population came clean time that they'd bet thier country on the notion that good ideas are the greatest weapon for change.

So that's my two cents. or 1.56 cents American.

Whichever.
